Is anything in the first paragraph of Bow's post that you quoted incorrect? (Except, of course, the 'over the edge' comment.

Yes, his claims of "rush to judgment" which I addressed.
People haven't heard the clips - I have. Yes it isn't the whole movie but it is enough of it to know that whoever wrote this has something against Reagan and is using this as a way to vilify him and slander his family. [ ... ]
I'm sorry that phrase seems to give your heartburn Caddy, but a rush to judgment is exactly what you did. You
have NOT seen the movie, yet you condemn it anyway. You dismiss the whole based on a few small parts -- and you have to know they picked the parts that their audience would find most objectionable, just to attract attention and get people riled up. You are judging a book by its cover. You are rushing to judgment. Your conclusion is based on your partisan support of Reagan, NOT the contents of a movie you haven't seen.
I'm perfectly willing to believe the movie is trash. I am not going to
conclude it is trash unless and until I've seen it.
No, I have not seen the movie - but I have heard many parts of it. Those parts are TRASH, and any movie that would have those parts in it would be trash too. No, I'm not judging it by it's cover - I've heard clips, read portions of the script, researched who wrote it, and directed it. Now jumping to conclusions would be if I just went off on a rant because Mike Reagan said this. He's been talking about it for a while - I've reserved judgement until I could hear what he was talking about. I've now heard parts and agree with him that it is trash. None of the Reagans were consulted - yet this movie is about them

I wonder why? Yes, it is the contents of the movie that I'm judging it by along with many other things which i've said - your writing it off as "rushing to judgement" can't change that.
nowareman - you seem to miss the part where I HEARD the movie, or the part where I considered who wrote the movie, and who directed the movie. They all lead to one conclusion - trash.
If I may borrow from our good pal moonbeam - the duck test.
This movie is sladerous trash and should not be sold as being some "truthful" story about the Reagans.
